Did you guys know that there is a crisis with our environment? If not, you must not have seen Birdemic: Shock and Terror, this week's victim for a very special How Did This Get Made? LIVE! Our friend "Weird Al" Yankovic is on the panel to enjoy the CGI dancing, obvious typos, and complete lack of editing that made this thriller a cult classic. Also on hand is Whitney Moore, star of Birdemic, who tells us the truth about her robotic costar, shares insight into the audition process, and divulges information about the sequel. This is less like a podcast, and more like you're Just Hanging Out with some friends.

Absolutely brilliant guys. I remember when I watched it for the first time and almost every single point you brought up I noticed: the blatant environmentalism, the awkward pacing/dialogue, the lack of birds to name a few.

Unfortunately, a sequel will never capture the magic of the original. However I will still watch it.

Oh, I'd love to see an episode with the MST3K/Cinematic Titanic/Rifftrax guys. I hope that is in the works.

Awesome show! Watching Birdemic was a horrible chore but the Rifftrax of it is really funny and I love how much their comedic commentary parallels at times with Paul & Co. Great to hear from Moore who provided the most enjoyable aspect of the film and clearly the only one involved with some actual film-making talent as an actor. And Weird Al, awesome as always! His description of how jarring it is when the birds FINALLY attack was simply perfect. I think this is the best HDTGM yet.

There are so many many questions pertaining to this epic pile of crap; but I'll just pose this one: Why such long drawn out beginning and ending sequences? I just wanted the misery to go away, but instead they sat there on the beach and watched as the two-dimensional bird pinatas drifted off into the green screen.

Listening to this podcast helped to heal the wounds I had from watching Birdemic. I had totally forgotten about everything amazing that happened in those first 47 minutes because the fucking bird noise made my teeth hurt and I was just so upset by the end that I couldn't remember ever enjoying it even a little.
...maybe I'm still a little scarred. That noise is awful. I don't feel like this was stressed enough.

The exciting discovery I made when imdb'ing our dear Whitney Moore I discovered that she plays Batman in my favorite film of the millenium, "The Death and Return of Superman"
